A woman I was speaking with that is attending a party in April, when I told her the guest special, she said GREAT!!! I LOVE using mine to brush my DOGS....;) She has 2 rescued Greyhounds & she said they love it as well. When you're done just shake it off & throw it in the machine!;) :cool: ;)

I saw the pics of your dogs, they are beautiful! I have an 11 year old beagle...:D
 
Would the hairs get stuck in the towel? My dog has a little bit of terrier in her so she is kinda "wirey" and her hairs get stuck in our clothes sometimes. I would be worried to use a microfiber on her and then have to spend hours pulling hairs out!

Hmmmmmm..you know what, I would say I'll try it on mine, but hers are short straight hairs....LOL...Tomorrow, I'm gonna go around the Island in search of people that have terriers & I'm gonna let them try 1 of mine to see what happens....:rolleyes:
 
I can just picture you approaching strangers and saying, "Hi. My name is Ginger. I'm a PC consultant, and I'd like to wipe your dog with my cloth."Let me know how people respond.

It does sound funny, but the island I live on is quite small, so I know quite a few people ( and they already know me..:rolleyes: ) so it wont faze them in the least.:cool:
 
I used my purple one (or whatever the fall color was) to dry my dogs when they came in from the rain. They are Border Collie/Samoyed mix (pictures are in the photo section here) and I actually don't see any dog hair on it... ...kind of surprising since they are REALLY shedders.
 
I have a husky and her hair is like VELCRO! It sticks to EVERYTHING. Hard to vacuum, hard to get off my clothes...it's a pain in the buns! I'll try this, but I'm afraid it will render my towels useless for kitchen work!

Well of course today it is raining, so I cant find any doggies.....:( . I've been looking for this lady I know that has 3 jack russels, oh well theres tomorrow. The way I figure is if it REALLY doesnt work at least my dog gets a nice towel of her own...;) ;) ;)
 
I would try it out on my dog but she hasn't been brushed in so long that it wouldn't do much after the first pass! Maybe I'll brush her today and use the towel for maintanence...
 
The darker towels were great as gifts to our grandson who is an avid bowler. He uses it to wipe off his ball before using it, almost every throw. He has had a 300 game, and called a few minutes ago to say he is a finalist in a YBC tournament, in which he could be the ultimate winner. He is bowling against one of his early teammates. They started bowling in the same league about six years ago, and were on the same team a couple of years. They come from a great alley. The owner of it won the Denny's Classic last weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Microfiber Towels used for in the kitchen?

Microfiber towels are highly absorbent and versatile, making them ideal for a variety of kitchen tasks. They can be used for drying dishes, wiping down surfaces, cleaning spills, and even polishing glassware without leaving streaks.

How do I properly care for my Microfiber Towels?

To care for your microfiber towels, wash them in warm water with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fibers. It's best to air dry them or tumble dry on low heat to maintain their effectiveness.

Can I use Microfiber Towels for cleaning other surfaces besides the kitchen?

Yes, microfiber towels are great for cleaning various surfaces beyond the kitchen. They can be used on countertops, appliances, windows, and even in bathrooms, as they effectively trap dirt and dust without scratching surfaces.

How often should I replace my Microfiber Towels?

The lifespan of microfiber towels can vary based on usage and care. Generally, they can last for several hundred washes if properly maintained. However, if you notice a decline in their absorbency or if they become worn or frayed, it may be time to replace them.

Are there specific tips for using Microfiber Towels effectively?

To use microfiber towels effectively, dampen them slightly for better cleaning power, especially on sticky or greasy surfaces. Use one side for cleaning and the other for drying to maximize their utility. Additionally, remember to wash them regularly to keep them in top condition.
